I have installed VNC on our SGI, Linux, and NT workstations. It is working
properly. I plan on using VNC as a teaching tool in a classroom environment.
I have already run a server and nine clients in our graphics lab. I am
wondering if it is possible to do the following:
1) I would like to make all (but one) of the vncviewers "output only"
so that the students can see what the instructor is typing without
being able to affect the rest of the class with their own mouse and
keyboard.
I know the Windows version (WinVNC) has a "Disable Remove Keyboard
& Pointer" checkbox. Is there anything similar on the client side
in the X version?
2) Copy and paste. I would like the students to be able use the mouse to
copy strings of text out of the vncviewer window and paste them into an
xterm running from their own X server. Is this possible? Right now it
looks like a different cut buffer is being used for xterms displayed
within the vncviewer. (NOTE: this is in an all-SGI environment.)
